“I eat enough protein.” But do you really? I see protein deficiency often disguising itself as various health issues. 
Here’s what your body might be trying to tell you👇🏻 1️⃣Your Hair 
What you notice: Thinning strands, brittle texture, excessive shedding 
What it means: Your body is conserving protein for essential functions like muscle repair and hormone production — and sacrificing hair health. Hair is made of keratin (a protein), so it’s one of the first areas to show deficiency. 2️⃣Your Skin 
What you notice: Slow-healing wounds, dull or tired complexion, premature fine lines 
What it means: Without adequate protein, your body can’t produce enough collagen and elastin. Those lines aren’t just aging, they’re your skin’s way of saying “feed me protein.” 3️⃣Your Energy 
What you notice: Afternoon crashes, morning fatigue, constant snacking 
What it means: Protein helps stabilize blood sugar and sustain energy. Without it, your body rides a glucose rollercoaster causing cravings, dips, and mood swings. 4️⃣Your Muscles 
What you notice: Weak grip strength, slower recovery, soreness after workouts 
What it means: Your muscles are breaking down faster than they can rebuild. That weakness isn’t about not training hard enough.. it’s about not fueling enough. 5️⃣Your Hormones 
What you notice: Irregular cycles, mood swings, water retention, poor focus 
What it means: Protein is essential for hormone production and enzyme function. A deficiency can throw your endocrine system off balance affecting everything from mood to metabolism. 🧾 Your body needs: * Complete protein sources (like eggs, dairy, poultry, fish, soy, lentils, quinoa) * Steady intake throughout the day (not just one big meal) * Healthy digestion to actually absorb what you eat * Balance with carbs, fats, and fiber for optimal utilization That’s all.. simple, but powerful.
Start paying attention to these signs, your body’s been trying to talk to you💭 #protein #proteinintake #health #fatloss #nutritionmatters #healthandwellness
